CDI Injection into a Batch Artifact (ItemReader)

[rbattenfeld]

Hi

I am trying to learn the new batch feature using WildFly 8.0.0-Beta1. Is it possible that CDI injections into for example an ItemReader is not supported at the moment?

This is the ItemReader class:

@Named

public class RcfItemReader extends AbstractItemReader {

     // singleton

     @Inject @IRcfTaskProducerQualifier

     TaskProducerBean _taskProducerBean;

     @Override

     public BlockingDeque<ITask> readItem() throws Exception {

         return _taskProducerBean.getTasks();

     }

}

Injection of the Singleton works in other managed beans but not in this scenario.

It should be supported. There was just a change merged upstream that did change a few things around setting up the context around threads. Would you might testing it on the latest master upstream? Or if you want to attach a sample WAR here I could give it a test.

Perfect. I will test it with the latest upstream master version and I will let you know the result.

Sorry for the late response. I didn't had time in the last two weeks. I will try to test it soon.

It works now. I played a little bit around. Lookups and CDI injection is working for me. Thanks a lot. Now I can continue making experience with this promising new API.
